Aug. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- International Life Settlements Fund has produced a guide to life settlements.
Global Fund House’s International Life Settlements Fund has produced a document that will enable investors to gain a better understanding of the life settlement asset class.

The guide is designed to provide a simple explanation of what life settlements are and how they work, so that investors and advisers alike can invest in this asset class with confidence.

International Life Settlements Fund has recognised that there is a process of education that needs to occur for investors into the life settlements space. The life settlement fund industry has been harmed by various short sighted products promising significant returns without explaining the key risks thoroughly.

According to Simon Cooper, Head of Sales and Marketing for International Life Settlements Fund.

“This guide is a reference for advisers and investors alike to gain an understanding of what can be a great alternative asset class when managed and structured well. Potential investors must conduct due diligence on any investment and this should assist. The characteristics of investing in life settlements are particular and should form part of an overall diversified portfolio with little liquidity needed from the life settlement segment over the long term”, Cooper said.

International Life Settlements Fund is a sub-fund of Fund House FCP SIF, a Luxembourg regulated mutual investment fund organised in the form of an open-ended specialist investment fund, launched in August 2009.
